How do you use your Coconut Oil?

[LexaKing]

I just ordered some Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and I'm so excited! I had the ORS Coconut Oil before but it has petroleum (the 1st ingredient) so I tossed it... But now im very excited about my order and I wanna know how you use your Coconut Oil and how it has benefited your hair

There ae countless threads on EVCO and how its used. But i normally use mine ( i have Herbs of Light Extra Virgin Organic Coconut oil) as a pre-poo and as a seal ocasionally i will mix it with my DC. HTH

 

[D.Lisha]

I use mine in my DC mix and as a sealant. As far as the benefits, I notice that my hair has more shine and is now softer than it was before I incorporated coconut oil into my regimen.

It's definitely a staple for me!

Unfortunately, my hair hates all kinds of oils... olive oil, coconut oil, wheat germ oil, etc... just dries my hair out. On the boards oils are amazing, but I don't get the same results. It's a sad thing. HOWEVER.... cooking with coconut oil is pretty freaking awesome

Uses for EVCO

I cook with it, use it on my body, use it on my face, grease my scalp with it, seal my ends with it, mix it with DC's, sun tan with it, remove make up with it, eat it if I cant boo boo... I cant live wih out this stuff

For my hair it makes it shine more and on my scalp it helps keep my scalp healthy

I add coconut oil to my deep conditioner. I also use it on dry hair to give it shine.

Before I dye my hair, I apply EVCO to my forehead, edges and ears to make it easier to wipe off any hair dye that's on my skin.

I also use it as a pre-poo. I apply all over my dry hair, leave it on for an hour, then co-wash.

Thnx ladies

I use it as a pre poo and also as an oil sheen. It just takes a dab like the size of a standard pencil eraser to make my hair shiny. I apply it nightly when my hair is straightened then wrap.

[StarScream35]

Pre poo and overnight conditioner. Sometimes I leave it in for 2 or 3 days.

 

[Jas123]

i use it to deep condition...

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I only use it as a sealant. Also, I usually get mine from a local health food store. But, the oil I have now I ordered from Amazon.com

 

[yorkpatties]

I prepoo with it on my shampoo days.

 

[MeowMix]

I vote prepoo. I've been on that moisture drenched pre-poo hard. I run some hot water in the sink and put my EVCO in to get it all liquidy. After spraying my hair with an AVJ/grapeseed oil mix, I put on the EVCO as a topper.

 

[candy626]

As a prepoo or if I need to moisturize. In fact, I will be using some tonight

 

[southerncitygirl]

i use it for cooking and body lotion. when i moisture and seal its mixed with some othe oils i love to seal with.

I bought Vatika coconut oil some 3 years ago. I havent been using it much throughout the time. I realise now that it has a funny smell and is very light and runny. Initially it had a pleasant smell and was hard and get out of the bottle. I'm not liking this, has anyone else had this experience with Vatika coconut oil.

I live in Jamaica and that may be the reason for it's runny consistency. Do you think it may have gotten stale over the period of time from manufacture till now?

Please share your thoughts ladies....all feedback is welcomed.

 

[MizzBrown]

Prepoo, use it to seal, slick back edges, grease my scalp with it, etc.

It's a really good oil. I'm STILL trying to use up all my other oils so I can just use Coconut oil only. There's no need for another oil. I always go back to it.
